Hello there I am glad to be here I am using collabora online on Nextcloud and I loved it a lot. I just have on question, I am using collabora online in my organization and we have common heading and footer designs. What I wanted to achieve is, I want to have default header and footer so that whenever I create new document it will have the default header and footer by default. Thanks ---

@cornouws thanks for your suggestion but I have tried that once, and I didn’t get it, I mean, does that option provide what I am asking for? and let’s say I have a blank document with the design of the footer and header on it, how do I import that as a global template? Thanks ---
